Colleagues,
let's try to get progress on that IME for DfM again. Jeff summarized the need for such an IME, see http://dictionarymid.gottfried-signs.ch/index.php?topic=46.msg207#msg207 (http://dictionarymid.gottfried-signs.ch/index.php?topic=46.msg207#msg207) and http://dictionarymid.gottfried-signs.ch/index.php?topic=45.msg188#msg188 (http://dictionarymid.gottfried-signs.ch/index.php?topic=45.msg188#msg188).
Peter already implemented in a separate application what we need: see Peter's OwnTextField http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/OTF.html (http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/OTF.html).
Peter's OwnTextField already supports what Jeff calls "Multi-Tap"-feature. And, to my assessment, this component can easily be adapted to support different languages by a mechanism analogously to the one used for Normation-class and DictionaryUpdate-class.
Now an important aspect: we need to have that OwnTextField also as replacement for the built-in TextField that is provided by many Nokia, Motorola and SonyEricsson devices. For these devices the built-in TextField shows an annoying popup-editor ! A solution with the 'inline editor' OwnTextField is more comfortable.
Well, who can take the task to finalize the work on Peter's OwnTextField and to integrate this into DictionaryForMIDs ??
I attached the source code to this posting (Peter, I hope that is ok for you).
Best greetings,
Gert
hello,
I would be glad if somebody completed this task.
TextField with pop-up editor in SonyEricsson and others mentioned is really ugly - I don't know reason, why manufacturers decided
for such solution...
btw. I noticed that by newer models SE it is solved nice - text is edited right on form (SE k610i)

IMHO, maybe some people prefers the drop down list, like auto complete list fouud in IDEs.
